oh, thank you...it worked

I'm still getting this msg: Bummer: There was an error with your code: SyntaxError: Parse error

not yet, this is what I tried since I still got an error: function sayHi() var answer = alert("Hi"); alert if(answer){document.element("Hi"); }

either getting SyntaxError or this still: Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.
